Name that movie....(possible 56K warning)

Sorry! Got busy.

This one will spoil it. I was going with the previous theme.

I recommend the movie only if you like the source material. (I do.)

Holman · Post by **Holman** » Thu May 04, 2017 7:13 pm

Anyone want to take it?

Not until you tell us what it is.

Holman · Post by **Holman** » Thu May 04, 2017 8:41 pm

I spoiled it in the link above my last picture. Anyone with any awareness of the movie would recognize the Crispin Glover pic.

It's Bartleby, a sort-of-surreal modern adaptation of the Melville short story.

I might be the only person who ever saw it, but I like my Melville.

Ok, I'll take this one.

Nighthawks

This movie doesn't get nearly the recognition it deserves.

I knew you'd get it. And I agree.

"Wulfgar!"

The Accountant?

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Sat May 06, 2017 11:40 am

Yes.

Just watched it last weekend and quite enjoyed it.

The one where Robert Redford's hair stays eternally young by sapping the life essence from his hands?

Never heard of it. Is it any good?

It proposed an interesting philosophical question: if the afterlife was scientifically proven to exist would it make logical sense to commit suicide? I enjoyed it.

Sounds interesting.

I might give it a go.

Thanks.

I just learned of this - I haven't even watched it yet, but it's got a great cast (to be revealed when if someone gets it). Bonus points for knowing the name under which it was re-released 5 years later.

No guesses? Here's a little clue to help you:

Spoiler:

Perhaps a more recognizable shot of the lead.

Holman · Post by **Holman** » Sun May 14, 2017 7:55 pm

Is he the love child of Johnny Cash and Robert De Niro?

McNutt · Post by **McNutt** » Sun May 14, 2017 8:15 pm

I think he's the love child or Mr and Mrs Cash.

Holman · Post by **Holman** » Sun May 14, 2017 8:22 pm

I thought it might be Johnny, but two pics up seems all wrong for him.

tgb · Post by **tgb** » Sun May 14, 2017 11:20 pm

First and third are Johnny. Not the one in the middle.

Anyway, it's Five Minutes To Live from 1961. Re-released in 1966 at Door to Door Maniac. Despite a once in a lifetime cast (in addition to JC there's Vic Tayback, Ronnie Howard & Merle Travis) it's pretty much unwatchable.

I know because I tried this afternoon.

Someone take it.

My Dinner With Rip?

That reminds me of when my daughter referred to a wrench as a repair stick.

That looks like Brendan Gleeson.

Which....doesn't really help me here.

It narrows it down enough, though, given Moliere's proclivities.

My proclivity for awesome?

For picking movies that were released relatively recently. Which, obviously, does not preclude awesome.
